6 & 5. Malina Weissman and Izabela Vidovic (Tie)

Malina Weissman and Izabela Vidovic’s performances as young Kara in the TV show Supergirl were outstanding. They both brought a sense of innocence and vulnerability to the character, while also displaying strength and determination that is essential to the character’s nature. Their chemistry with the other actors and their ability to convey complex emotions was impressive, especially considering their young age.

However, it’s difficult to compare their performances to those of other actresses who played the character in larger arcs. Melissa Benoist, for example, has played Kara in Supergirl for several seasons, and her portrayal of the character has become iconic. Her performance has evolved over time, showing Kara’s growth and development as a hero and as a person. It’s hard to rank Weissman and Vidovic’s performances against Benoist’s because they didn’t have the same opportunity to explore the character’s arc.

Similarly, other actresses who have played Kara in different iterations of the character, such as Helen Slater or Laura Vandervoort, have had more time to develop their performances and explore the nuances of the character. While Weissman and Vidovic’s performances were exceptional, it’s challenging to compare them to the depth of those other performances.

Weissman and Vidovic’s performances as young Kara in Supergirl were superb, and they brought a fresh perspective to the character. However, it’s difficult to rank them against other actresses who have played the character in more extensive story arcs.
